CNN-BLACK IN AMERICA

[zjones1222]

Racist propaganda can be reversed and it will be done to show you how it feels.

[guyNbluejeans]

I know that there are many fine black folks, just as there are many despicable whites. But the thing is, one constantly sees blacks doing horrible things to Caucasians, i.e. "racially profiling" them to murder, rape, mug, etc., while VERY SELDOM does one see or hear of Caucasians doing such to blacks. And THAT'S why I speak-out via the Net, 'cause I'm fed up with this shit and how the media works as an accomplice via acting like they're so "caring" with their phony front!

Ted Koppel started it.

[guyNbluejeans]

Look at how screwed up things are ... Obama, a guy that says he hates his white blood, stuck his nose into that Cambridge situation, siding, of course, with the racist professor. But look at how two-weeks before that a Caucasian family coming back from a fireworks display in Akron, Ohio were attacked by 50 black thugs! But what did this phony of a president -- or for that matter the national liberal media -- have to say about it? NOTHING!!

Double-standards favoring blacks = elite citizens!!

[guyNbluejeans]

Today's African-Americans are now elite citizens, courtesy of the liberal media. For decades these sell-out-the-truth scumbags have been doing such a solid job of hammering the notion that Caucasians are worthless scum out doing all the other races wrong 24/7, thus we now have things so warped that blacks have become spoiled to the core.

BET, Black History Month, Black Music Month, black, black, black! Yet Caucasians aren't allowed such as we'd be tarred "racist" if we tried to have the same.

[guyNbluejeans]

The truth is that Caucasians don't benefit in a general sense by people of African descent, while the opposite is absolutely true.

Blacks, for the most part, came from the south-western shores of Africa. And while the continent was extremely rich in natural resources, the indigenous people that lived there for tens-of-thousands of years never developed anything beyond mud shacks and spears. Now don't get angry with me for saying that, blame your race for failing to innovate and create.

JKIR

[guyNbluejeans]

Elisha Graves Otis sounds like a black name, but the inventor of the elevator brake -- the device that makes an elevator a possibility -- is in fact a Caucasian man.

That you and so many other blacks would jump on the notion that a black invented the elevator due to a name sounding black, just proves my point that those spoiled, black history revisionists are poisoning blacks and others with this kind of garbage.

One can only imagine *shudder* just what kind of "open heart surgery* that was ..

[guyNbluejeans]

Will there ever come a time when the libs abusing their soapboxes will start being honest with blacks and everyone else by "enlightening" the world to the fact that Black Americans benefit BIG TIME by having been grafted into a Caucasian society?

Blacks enjoy a MAGNIFICENT Standard of Living due to the fact that they've been launched a million generations into the future, thus they're blessed with cell phones ... cars ... plasma TVs ... air conditioning ... high quality food ... boom-boxes ....

[coconisha85]

Umm, get your history right. Whites and many other cultures enjoy a huge "thrust" into the modern age by riding on the coat tails of Blacks. Inventions such as the light bulb filament, the refrigerator, pencil sharpener, elevator, FIRST OPEN HEART SURGERY, and much more. Cross-culturally, we ALL have given and will always have something to give to one another. Stop spewing supremacist foolishness.

[guyNbluejeans]

Your ignorance is a good example of what's at the core of this countries racial troubles. You actually believe the nonsense you just posted, but you can get away with it because people don't go to jail for telling such lies or being ignorant.

I post the things I post because I want to present the truth of things with the hope that some of these blacks running around with the big chips on their shoulders might come to their senses and be thankful for being so blessed ... .

Just keeping it real.

[coconisha85]

Well show me your citations, and I'll show you mine. If you want to deal in truths, then let's deal in truths, but don't make blanket statements and expect no one to call you on it. All you said is "You're wrong", but you didn't even back your words up with substantial evidence. You didn't even put in any examples to strengthen your argument. Prove that my words are indeed ignorant. They aren't so just because you say so. Show, don't tell.

Also just keeping it real.

[Armygoingwild]

Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement -- and we will make the goal.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

ok...but Ive never harmed any black people...but by all means continue on in your anger,Im out.

[moebigsley1976]

How can one group talk about history but not another? White folks say forget about it, but are white folks willing to forget about their past? The good times and the bad? To disregard their grandparents and ancestry? I think not. Sorry I have pride in my people and heritage to do that. And yes slavery did happen, but it is a small portion of a history of an African people, yet it is a big portion of a American people. Bblack folks should read about blacks that made an impact.

[moebigsley1976]

Black folks may revert back to the past, but so do white folks:(WW1,WW2,American Revolution, the Roman and Greek Empires, or anything from a European perspective, no one knows about outside of that.

This may make one think that know one else has a history or has contributed to it. (The inferior mentality of a "Superior Complex").

If we are all truly equal, with different perspectives, why not engage those perspectives to gain insight, rather than ignoring them or writing them off.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

...And yes,I think black people are cool as hell.I just think we should move forward.Its easy to blame the past for present problems,but it gets nothing done.Peace.

[silents08]

because white people always say to forget the past and move on typical!!!

[OnlyAPawn1970]

...and what black people say is typical,also.Ironic,isn't it?

[silents08]

look we was taken out of our home land our women where rapped killed they stole burnt things we use to beleive in and fed us their bullshit and now you wanna talk about forget it... we should be aloud to think and say what we want white people always say they love black people until they start constatly talking about there past fuck you!! this material shit aint us so stop telling us to for get the past bcoz wiv out da past all this bullshit going on today would'nt exist so shut your mouth

[Villian64]

Today is bult on yesterday and tommorow is built on today.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

African-Americans have been treated very bad in America,thats a fact.Another fact:Africans also profitted from the slave-trade as well.Stop dwelling on the past-move forward,for a better tomorrow.

[silents08]

i bet your white

[OnlyAPawn1970]

And let me guess...you're black.Whats the fuckin difference?But excuse me,if what I said was wrong.

[theinneruniverse]

from the moment I saw the title was "black in america" I knew it was more white tricknowledgy. "black in america"? that's an oxymoron, we ARE america. How could you be IN, some place you ARE. And we're called Moors by the way, not "Blacks" or "coons" or "nigger" any other white foolery to disconnect you.

CNN would NEVER tell you the truth about your own history. Believing the european would tell us our history was a classic mistake in the past wasnt it? and its still a classic mistake today.

[blackartbaby]

Calling names are so dehumanizing and juvenile.  God bless you sir. Apparently, you hate yourself and have a very low self-esteem to down another race. This is just a sign of your ignorance. I can belittle you, however, I have to much class. Go do something constructive like read a book about kindness to all man kind. Maybe you are upset because Caucasians are becoming minorities.

[tboogie78]

Jax0019 is a jackass! He 'claims' to hate blacks so much, yet he has black girls on his page...Mmm...interesting....I mean why even waste your time fooling around with a video with us if you hate us so much?

[oaktownA]

whats funny is now whites r starting to see what its like to be black in america. kids shootin each other at school(columbine) losin jobs to other ethnicities, complaining about healthcare,betrayed by their government, getting deep into debt, foreclosures, divorce rates and they consume a ton of hip hop. guess yall the real niggas now.YOUR WHITE politicians made u feel better catering to u while ignoring others and u were ok with it. now theyve sold u out to those who arent white.karmas a bitch!

[EkuaLoves]

Thank you for this.

[cs781]

affirmative action hands school to you on a silver platter, you don't go. You have the same advantages as everyone else and then some. Fess up to your REAL problems and stop playing the "race card." If you are unsuccessful and living in poverty, it's not because your black. A million other important things happened in history besides slavery, get over it already! The world owes you nothing.

[skipqtexas]

Tis country was by white people for white people. The Red man and the Black man and all other non white peoples were to be the burden barrers of this society.\

The statistics done by (white) universites in this program say it all.

[blackartbaby]

Another sign of ignorance.

[83k30]

Affirmative Action, government grants for being a "minority" city and state contracts(construction) are required to include a specified percentage of minorty owned companies. AND STILL the fuckin niggers cant get their act together-all the incentives to better themselves and advance in society and they are too lazy to do it!

[contritemgt]

i could give 2 cent for affirmative action. The government of America has done nothing to correct to total degradation of a whole black people. You can kkkeep your affirmative action and your civil. Are rights are given by God. America does not control anything or anyone. They are being allowed to stand in the place of God as vicevergent to see how they would act. Well the act is over and Justice and salvation for Black is the order of the day. Heaven awaits you black reclaim your own.

[blackartbaby]

No matter what the race, there are people that can not get their acts together. I know people of every race that are poor/uneducated as well as rich/educated black, white, etc. When are people going to judge based on individuality? Color/race means nothing. When we die God is not going to say oh you are a Nigger, oh you are a cracker!!!! Skin means nothing don't you get it? We all bleed!!!!

[83k30]

hahaha fuckin monkeys! yall havent done anything well, except manage to have high crime, teen pregs, high school drop outs(1/2 drop out) if you are sooo proud of your black "heritage" then why dont you move back to africa! oh right, its a shit hole!!!

[blackartbaby]

This is the effects of blacks being enslaved. Blacks were taken from Africa and was raped, was not allowed to learn how to read, killed, separated from their families, was forced to turn on each other etc. The people who did these acts created the mindset of black people. This is where all this negative stuff originated. Slavery caused this problem.Now you say go back to Africa you go back to the European caves were you originated. Do your research before you speak like a nigger. Nigger!!!

[83k30]

did you forget who sold you into captivity? rival tribesmen-slavery was in africa long before the europeans came over! and have you forgotton what race has the most government incentitives? COONS!

[ny95va]

lol u sound stupid as shit....internet shit talking.

[SATYREFILMS]

NOTE TO CNN: At first, I wondered WHY you were doing this..... then, I figured it out.

Thanks for the reminder. ;)

xoxoxooxooxoxooxooxooxoxooxoxo­xooxoxooxoxooooxox

[ANGLEBOOT]

All the black men at work do not want to be called,"African American". They want to be called "American." Just racist want to be called African American, as they put it.

How many white women who don't know who the father of their child is? Countless. As for many women of many races. Has the show put white women in the same place? Yes, many of times. The media don't have to show how many black people live. All I have to do is drive through South Dallas and see for myself.

[ANGLEBOOT]

Or go to work and watch the older black men jump down the throats of the younger black men. Just fore calling each other "n". And my rule is, any man call another man a "n" is fired. No mmatter what the race is. Even of the same race.

but living in the past never helped anyone. Times have changed. Just go to a local scholl when it lets out. Out of the doors will come white kids, black kids, mexican kids, asian kids, and mix of all the above. America has changed atot in just a short time.

[ANGLEBOOT]

More black people need to come up to today. And stop living in the passed. Just look, a black man running for president. Holy crap, try that 30 years ago. Even 20 years ago. Look at how many black own their own companies.

The media don't tag all black people as gangsters. But it's not like they are not there. Take that drive through South Dallas you'll see them everywhere. But that is in South Dallas. But everywhere eles you'll see a mix of many races.

[stripes597]

Im from Cedar Hill(right outside of oakcliff). Im a black 16 year old whose lived here my whole life. Its funny though. Its a black suburb and the adults probably tried real hard to get there kids to have it better than they did growing up. But I dont go to Cedar Hill schools anymore. At the high school, all they do is fight and talk back to the teacher and skip class. And I have some friends who call me white boy cause I dont do these things or talk the way they do. Pretty sad.

[Alcavexus]

I'm a black women of 21 years of age. I grew up with both parents in a stable home and values. I lived in the suburbs too and got the same treatment you did becasue i wasn't into the hip hop scene! I think the hip hop scene takes away black kids potential to explore other things besides fucking beyonce or Jay-z next video

[kema306]

You are stupid and it is clear you hate your own people i know you are with a white guy rock on you cracker lover

[Alcavexus]

Kids exposed to so called role models like 50 Cent who's talking about women are bitches, get that money, being materialistic and doing drugs is cool is nothing black people should encourage or celebrate. I don't hate my own people, but I will not hesitate to point out our ills. If most of our kids are inspired and know nothing else but about what fucking BET is showing..something is wrong.

[luv1124]

CNN didn't reval anything about Living "Black in America." I am black, and I live in America, and so I have the personal experience. I think the program was for for white Americans.  I hope they've learned from it.

[shellezzle1]

Will they show how racists blacks were towards me because of my mixed heritage??? LMAO, I think they might not...

[Jax0019]

EVERYONE hates you niggers! I know people who hate niggers but not African immigrants! Why is that?  YOUR THE PROBLEM NOT YOUR SKIN [i like africans just not american-blacks]

[CombineEmpire]

go die

[breezevent22]

good thankyou! someone sees through this b.s for once. i'm so sick of the media coming around and telling black people how they are... no what the media is doing is telling black people how they want them to be, not how they actually are. sick of it

[dmcghie1984]

martyheehee,

what the hell are you getting so angry about? dont sit here and call blk ppl scumbags. you're a fucking scumbag for making that ugly remark. look around you; blk ppl are represented poorly in media, you know that. you're just angry that we see thru it...and once we see it, we could change. thats what you're afraid of. get over yourself, dick head.

[fishywood]

go fuck a monkey nigger lover

[CombineEmpire]

I love how you don't have the balls to say that to someone in real life. I wish people like you were tortured and executed.

[fishywood]

actually i have a 6inch swasitca on my chest and love to walk in public and bitch niggers in public or in the pen dont say a mother fucking word because they know whats ,up you general population bitch NIGGER

[CombineEmpire]

Lol, if I saw you in real life I might go to jail for manslaughter. Why? Not because I am evil, but because I get out of control in fights. Especially when I fight your kind, I don't know if I would ever stop beating on you with my fists. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't kill you, but beating the Hell out of you kind feels oh-so good.

[neijiman]

in predict that tonites insite is going to be more biased than anything.. come on now "Black men" i can here the ralleys of complacent woman already

[atown02]

I asked myself "what was CNN's intention" too? Do Americans, even Black Americans, now see Blacks as truly underpriviledged citizens or do they now see us as cry babies and whiners. Regardless, many of the things that were portrayed in this CNN documentary were accurate whether we like it or not. Regardless of their intentions or how it was perceived the truth is the truth and facts are facts. We must all remember that no one race is exempt. Instead of arguing lets get busy making change. Peace.

[taylordon2008]

We've always been racially discriminated against frm jobs 2 medical. If Obama wasn't black would we really be having this debate What's the problem w/him running for president we're good enough to entertain you but not good enough to run the country. Are you afraid of What comes around goes around. Well don't worry about that no matter how low down & dirty U treated us & still do we are loving people we don't have the evil DNA to mistreat another race of HUMAN beings like you!

[Krankenhausmannschaf]

yes but i have been robbed twice in my life and both times it was by a group of black teenagers. now whenever i see a group of black teenagers i avoid them best i can. and i was also called a cracka and white boy yet that doesnt seem like a big deal. the racism is going the other way these days. so many black people always justify their actions because they see themselves as victims. i now own a gun for self protection although i have been against guns all my life.

[kpjdeux1]

i used to work at a store in the mall and the only people we would catch stealing were white american teenagers. you cannot blame a specific race for stealing, you have to blame any person you think looks suspicious. yes, impoverished people, teenagers, and people with a lack of morals tend to steal more, but we have to look at people through their economic situation and specific characteristics instead of assuming that one race is more prone to commit a crime.

[Krankenhausmannschaf]

i agree with you that the economic situation of the individuals is key, but many people were discriminated against in the history of this country. the irish for instance or the chinese. yet the black community has in no way overcome these obstacles like other minorities. i have not been to a single restaurant where the owner is black. sometimes i see black employees, but i have been to plenty or restaurants where the owners are chinese, indian etc. change needs to happen.

[Krankenhausmannschaf]

and the only thing that can change that is if black parents start raising their children.

[Jax0019]

it all comes down to this; BLACKS ARE USELESS!

WHAT PURPOSE DO THEY SERVE other than divide and conquer? [America's enemies exploit blacks to cause racial tension]

[RagingBazMan]

Exactly. It is no coincidence that the civil rights movement was lead by Jews.

[CombineEmpire]

Jews? you mean Christians right? You stupid prick

[Jax0019]

I am foreigner. Your smart! RACISM is good. It keeps you safe. I assume most blacks are violent or stupid. I am correct 90 percent of them time.

[iladixon2003]

It's quite alright Jax0019 that you have exposed how you truly feel. Truth is the revealing of the ignorant. The ignorant individual that you are. You obviously have serious issues with yourself and therefore need to demean other individual. May God help you.

SPOKEN BY A TRUE BLACK WOMAN!

[CombineEmpire]

Go to hell, and die painfully and slowly. (Native American who has also been made fun of speeaking here against ALL racist fucks.

[blackartbaby]

Crime occurs by every race. I was robbed by a group of white teenagers. Now do I suppose to hate whites because of this. HELL NO!!! I love all people. Race mean nothing and causes nothing but hate. Get it through your head.

[abby1029]

You are ALL IGNORANT. If you took the time out to really see what this is about then you would see that it has nothing to do with the crap your typing on here.

[brandnewmap]

Obama was rasied by a white mother and white grandparetns if he is a muslim then his white mother and white grandparents taught it to him.

[newyorkowner]

if he was pulled over by a police officer and he was a everyday joe what color would the cop look at him as??? black of course!!!!

[Krankenhausmannschaf]

if you had a group of people that are specifically prone for violence and dominate crime statistics would you not be more suspicious of that group. its human logic to pull over those that seem suspicious.

[bayboi2showme]

question for all-----being that obama is BOTH WHITE AND BLACK,,,BOTH. What race do you think embraced him?, in this wonderful u.s.of a :) just a question.

[spodeo71]

Yeah but you think Barack is African American and muslim only because u cant get past his skin color....for he is neither!!! He is half white and half black. Whites fail blacks in education and overlook blacks in jobs and persecute blacks discriminantly with their legal system....you can only catch terrorists that look like they r african american.....racist dollar, shool, church, and judicial system!!!!!

[dellwon]

this has got to be the worst idea ever thought up. CNN you should be ashamed of yourself. If black people were still being inslaved by whites that would be one thing, or if blacks were still forced to sit in the back of the bus, that would be another thing. but blacks aren't going through anything that other people aren't going through. Big waste of time. Im starting to think CNN is racist.

[spodeo71]

Tell ya what...lets just let the black people enslave the whites for 2 or 300 years...then givem 40 years and freedom and then ask them if they feel even and equal!!!!

[bayboi2showme]

man - the racist white on this particular page are something else...u shuld really be ashamed to even utter the things u do..we are not wanting anyone to feel sorry, but merely just understand that living black in america is..not..easy.. y? u ask..becuz of racist one track minded people of ur kind. look harder-or just try to imagine

[maciab]

some people are so FUCKING IGNORANT!!!!!!!!!!!

[catchfree84]

why do you worry about what black people are doing ???....we have nothing to do with you move on with your life...i always wonder why white people take time out of their life to come on youtube and complain about what black people do in black videos...why are you even in here ???...do we stay on your minds that much ???

[WaKeUP212]

I am not white, I am black.

[catchfree84]

i was talking to another person...i assumed you were black since you made this lol

[pguer07]

Not sure the point of airing black American's dirty laundry to the world. This is a problem that black Americans should deal with and it should have been handled in the black media, i.e., BET. Soledad only reinforced stereotypes about blacks. What did this accomplish?

[RisaRN]

To be honest with you, I'm wondering myself what exactly this did accomplish. All these things they showed so far I think most people already heard of (both white and black). It's highlighting too much negatives and yes, reinforcing stereotypes I believe.

[lovesme365]

I agree...however, BET is not the Black media...to be blunt it is pure unadulterated garbage with nothing mentally stimulating what so ever...It said that 1/3 of Black americans live like this which means that the other 2/3 is doing fine. Most of these porblems such as poor healthcare and a less than acceptable education system is an American problem and is not just limited to blacks.

[LLO525Star]

BET as "Black media"? You're joking, right..?

[catchfree84]

lol where is anybody blaming anybody...nobody asked you to feel sorry for us...just live your life we have nothing to do with you

[mrmoor6]

a spiritual awakening in 2012, it's highly likely that when "The Valley of The Dry Bones" starts telling the masses about YAHWEH when the SATANISTS starts killing people believing in YAHOSHUA. So-called blacks have been through slavery, black women being raped, children and families broken up forever, Jim Crow, etc. so-called Jews, Asians and other non-blacks have gotten apologies for Japanese prison camps and a european holocaust, but they received apologies. MYSTERY BABYLON

[mrmoor6]

It's weird how almost every other nationality gets upset when "BLACK" people are talked about. It's OK to be American, but those same people like talking about being Irish, Chinese, French, German, etc. "WHAT IN THE HELL DOES BLACK MEAN"????? It sure as hell is no country. so-called black people (lost sheep of Yisrael) need to return to the ways of YAHWEH. Those impostors in Canaan need to be ashamed of themselves.

[Kidcky]

I love the video you put together here and I am fairly sure I got the message that you were trying to portray.

Ofcourse the media depicts a bias veiw of black america. I'm african american and I can deffinatly say that it gets pretty annoying.

I'll try to keep this short but I believe that we should see an individual for how they act alone without subjecting them to a whole group of people who seem to act the same.

[RagingBazMan]

I think it's about time racists and right wingers stop bashing Adolf Hitler. We would not be in this situation with the niggers today if Hitler won the war.

[chillbrotha01]

so i guess blacks are in second place then huh? shut the hell up with this. you were never a slave so quit actin like one brotha

[mightyblack1]

I hope this story deals with Amerikkka white racism that play a huge part in our black lives 24/7 along with the white racist media.I know that some black boot licker will appear in this story promoting this interracial marriage bull shit.

[chillbrotha01]

im guess your a separatist?

[mightyblack1]

Chillbrotha01,there's no greater separatist that the white race of Amerikkka.

[kicuville]

i think white are not to blame as blacks we have problems that we can deal with by ourselves, why am i sayin this cause most of the times black african immigrants and asians outperfoms afroamericans, cause they always use slavery as an excuse, just tell me what's on your mind.

[archiemilan]

While I do appreciate your work and attempt to make people think about the way they are portrayed, you might want to really look at the program that CNN has put together. I was at a viewing last night of the program and the question was asked by someone in the audience why the programs were broken up the way that they were and they had some very insightful answers. The program is really powerful and well thought out. There are many positive portions of the program that I'm sure you will like.

[xwushux]

Other part of America should listen to Tom Joyner Show - They are "Real fathers - Real Men" out there; many brothers out there that has families and will sacrifice their world for their family. The have been responsible way before Obama NAACP speech.
